There is a store in Austin called I <3 Video. It is a movie rental store, but they also buy and sell movies. From the outside I will admit it looks a little sketchy. I really need to stop going by first impressions, because that is quite possibly the Mecca of movies for me. You walk in the door, you see the counter and workers, and then you step out into a huge open room where the walls and shelves are just packed with books. They advertise that they have movies you can't find on Netflix. As a lover of Netflix, I put this to the test. You know what? They're right. The selection is insane! I could spend hours in there and find thousands of movies I've never even heard of before. I've seen a lot of movies and have heard of many more, but this is a whole new experience.

I look forward to exploring the crazy levels of that store. I'll probably do so on a Tuesday. Why? Because they give away free beer (if you have a proper ID of course) on Tuesdays. They get a keg of Lonestar and offer free beer while you peruse the movies (they do ask for donations to continue offering the free beer game). It's awesome.

So, on my list of awesome stores I've been to in my life, I <3 video is near the top of that list!

For the record, these reviews are my personal opinions about the books I volunteer to read. I'm not getting paid by anyone to read or review them. A lot of people charge a penny for their thoughts... mine are free.
